The second officer stared at the chief with his eyes shining in confusion. “Sir, who among the family members are you suspecting to be behind this.” He asked with a soft tone.Chief Francis sighed deeply, as he furrowed his eyebrow while thinking of the question he was asked. “Everyone is a suspect, this seems strange to me. The lawyer was declared missing the same day Brown had an accident. The lawyer was shot twice in his chest, while for Brown. He wasn’t poisoned when he was in a coma but a few days after gaining consciousness from his Coma, he was poisoned to death.” The officer nodded his head in understanding, as he thought within himself. He turned to face the other officer, “I think this is deep and we must be careful with our investigation, I want you to contact both families, the Bakers and the Forster’s. We need to interrogate each of them, that’s the only way we would know the truth. And we would also need Juan Pablo’s help to see if he could recognise the person who acc
Nicolas sighed deeply, “Master, I wanted to confirm my suspicion about it. So I had to undergo some tests about the liquid. I took a small quantity of tea as a sample for the test. And I found out he added thallium to the tea,” he said with his voice barely above a whisper. “Thallium,” Ryan said with his eyes popping out, he took the envelope unveiling the contents inside as his eyes scanned through each word slowly. “Yes, young master. The thallium takes weeks or months for the full effect to manifest.” “Did my grandfather take a sip from the tea?” Ryan asked curiously, his heart pounding fast in fear and uncertainty. “You have nothing to worry about, Young master. I threw away the contents in the cup and the cup as well, so your grandfather didn’t take a sip from it.” His butler replied. Ryan sighed in relief, as he leaned back on the chair. “Thank you, Nicolas.” He said with a small voice. Nicolas nodded his head, “You are welcome, Young master. But what do we do about it? He
“You need to calm down, Reuben. You might get us into trouble.” Joseph said.Reuben was boiling in anger, his jaws clenched. As he ambled back and forth at a slow pace. Ever since his mother got arrested, he hasn’t been himself. He still couldn’t believe that his mother could do such a thing.“Why should i calm down, when my mother is going to prison? Do you know what it means?” Reuben said with his voice unsteady.Joseph shook his head intermittently, as he continued to sip from the wine glass. “Have you forgotten I lost my daughter? What else are you trying to say? Do you think it’s also easy for me to bare, I have been hiding my emotions.” He questioned.Reuben moved back to his seat with his hand tapping repeatedly against the wine glass. “Our plan is not working, everything is tearing apart. What else should we do to make sure we get that Dude out of the picture.” He said with his eyes blazing in fury.“This not what you assured me, I want Ryan dead. my family got into this shit
Victoria’s heart skipped a bit as she recalled the unexpected visit from the lawyer during her stay at the hospital, she took a deep breath and glanced at the two detectives who were facing her with a serious gaze as they awaited a response.“The Lawyer came to visit me for some important family matters and he was instructed by Brown to come check up on me.” She said with her voice barely above a whisper.“Why would your husband send the lawyer to check up on you,” Detective Charlie asked, his voice tingling with confusion.“I don’t know his reasons because I was weak, like I said it was a personal matter.” She vehemently responded.The detectives glanced at each other with disbelief, detective Charlie furrowed his eyebrow before penning down words on his jotter. He brought out a white paper from the file before him and he slid it towards Victoria.“You were weak, you say.” Detective Charlie asked, “ But we found your signature on the divorce papers that were presented to you that ni
“Where were you the night before your sister’s wedding?” Detective Thomas promptly asked.Reuben stared at them, the two detectives nodded their heads in anticipation as they awaited a response from him. Reuben drew a deep breath and mouthed. “I was at home, making preparations with my family.” “Did you by any chance visit a casino house with Brown.”Reuben furrowed his brow, he remembered visiting the casino with Brown to discuss with Juan Pablo about helping them to assassinate Ryan but their plans failed. There was a moment of silence in the room, detective Charlie leaned back on the chair with his arms crossed as they awaited a response from Reuben.The detectives continued to bomb Reuben with questions and he didn’t hesitate to defend himself. The interrogation lasted more than expected, Reuben was asked to go home but was informed he would be called to the station when needed.Mr. Caleb and his family were interrogated as well, each of Bakers’ family had their session of inter
Ryan got up that very morning with his mind racing through the discussion he had with his grandfather about meeting with Jack Harrison.He did the needful immediately he stepped his foot against the floor, and he had his bath and other necessary things that were required of him. He didn't fail to inform his butler about where they would be heading when he was through.He had his breakfast after which texted his driver Jerry to drive to the office to pick up Jeremy and Aaliyah Brandon he had chosen to accompany him for his business meeting with the car racing company. He strode towards the entrance of the mansion where his butler Nicolas was patiently waiting for him. “Good morning, Young Master,” Nicolas said softly with his head bent in respect. He didn't hesitate to part the car door opened for his master who reciprocated his greetings. Ryan sits with his legs crossed as he awaits Nicolas who finds his way to the driver seat of his favorite whip. He revved and drove off from the
Ryan drew a deep breath as the meeting was about to commence, he had his eye fixed on the proposal before him, he knew with a partnership with the racing company they could gain significant exposure to a new audience. It will help his company attract attention towards his company and brand recognition.Ryan was prepared to launch his pitch, he cleared his throat. “Mr. Jack, I believe there is a unique opportunity for partnerships between Prime Realty and Speed Race. Our brands may operate in different industries, but we share the same common values of innovation, excellence and a commitment to push boundaries.”He continued to outline his pitches to the other company, the representative and CEO, Jack Harrison listened intently as they tried to absorb Ryan's words. They found the proposal interesting as they nodded their heads in agreement but at a point, Jack Harrison injected a thoughtful question.“How do you envision our partnership?” Jack Harrison asked with his face etched with d
Jack Harrison was boiling in inner rage, his once excited expressions had changed to sadness. He moved back and forth at a slow pace with a clenched jaw.“This is a disaster. How could this happen on the day of our race? We have guests who came with me to watch the race. What do you want to happen now? You want us to be seen as a loser.” Jack yelled seriously.*I am sorry, sir. It appears that the star drivers have come down with a sudden illness, so they won't be able to race today." Those words were playing in Jack's head repeatedly and he was finding it frustrating.His heart sank in disappointment after hearing the news, losing two-star drivers the same day was a big blow to the team and its management. They will lose their chances of winning the race. Jack Harrison couldn't help but feel a sense of panic within him.“I am sorry sir, But it will be difficult to compete in the race. We don't have any other driver.” the team manager said.Ryan could hear everything that was happenin
